Hen House Bullies

May 2, 2014

Girls in the hen-house don’t always get along. There are things that go on in there that you never know about unless you happen by with your video camera in hand. I heard some commotion in the layer coop as I walked by this morning and decided to cheek it out. One of my large White Plymouth Rocks was pushing her weight around in there, vying for a nest box. It didn’t take long to realize that she’s a bully.

Don’t feel too sorry for the little splash Isbar. You’ll see she has a bit of the mean girl in her too.

Here’s the video. Please note that the white stuff flying around is not feathers. It is from two huge black locust trees that decided to shed their flowers right in the middle of my video.

    I am enjoying your blog and website! We live on 30 acre farm of chickens and horses way back in the hills of Northwestern PA. Near the little town of Shinglehouse.
